jeez where to start.....
google might be a good place.
other than that:
windows - proprietry, kludgy, unstable, ubiquitous, generally single user per box
unix - several different flavours (eg linux, solaris, bsd), tends to be more robust, used more as a powerhouse os in a server type installation - multi user from the ground up.
mac - depends on what version you're talking about - OSX is unix-based, before that I don't really know too much.
Your question is an open ended one with a lot of religious/political sentiment attached...

This smells of someones homework assignment.

But even if its not, this type of question isn't for discussion here.
